Lada Nakonechna (Ukrainian: Ukrainian: Лада Наконечна; born 1981 in Dnipro, Soviet Union) is a Ukrainian sculptor, graphic artist, performance artist and researcher. Her works are shown internationally in group and solo exhibitions.
Nakonechna attended the State Art Academy in Dnipro from 1996 to 2000. Subsequently, she studied at the National Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture in Kyiv until 2009.[1] After her studies, Nakonechna stayed in Kyiv, where she also met her husband.[2]
In 2005, Nakonechna joined the Ukrainian artist collective R.E.P. (Revolutionary Experimental Space). Initially, a group of twenty artists of different occupations, R.E.P. soon became a small community of six artists who tried out different artistic expressions.[3]
Nakonechna is also a member of Hudrada (Creative Committee), a curatorial group of designers, architects, authors and other artists. Hudrada is active since 2008 and organizes projects, e. g., exhibitions, to create a platform for theoretical exchange.[4]
In 2015, Nakonechna co-founded the Method Fund.[5] This independent cultural organisation is conceived as a self-learning project and is dedicated to finding ways to establish art in specific locations. The focus is on collaborative approaches and supporting young artists in their respective places of residence.[6] As a curator, Nakonetschna is partly responsible for the organisation's educational and course offerings.[5]
Nakonechna left Ukraine during the Russian Invasion in 2022. In 2023, she worked as a guest lecturer at the University of Fine Arts (HfbK) in Hamburg.[1]
